An interesting game with some caveats! The investigation is enjoyable, and the general plot is fine, though it's let down a bit by a couple of things: - The translation + voice acting is Not Good. Sometimes this also makes investigating the cases harder, too. I really wish a good translator could have been involved. - I think this is related to the translation issue, but the r-slur shows up a couple of times out of nowhere at the end + in one of the achievements? Huh??? Is this 2003??? - It's good that the game isn't full of red herrings, but sometimes the restrictiveness of the browser search + what you can highlight feels both frustrating and a bit immersion-breaking. This is definitely something games like The Roottrees Are Dead do better. It's not awful, though, and you'll generally get where you're going in the end. Also, and this is not a negative or a positive, this game has a lot of underlying fridge horror/creepiness that I really hope gets explored more in game two. Over...

About the Game
Hello everyone, we are the Aluba Studio, and we are happy to share our game with you that is Cyber Manhunt.Like this game's name mentions, this is a cyber-puzzle game which is combined with the network of violence, big data, loss of privacy and other social problems.
Many plots of this series game relate to real events. So you can find many familiar stories in your life as Deja-vu scene.
Theme
In our creative process, we found that the Internet is more important in our life than everyone's imagination. Social events always have different opinions in the real world. And there is always has a little group of people who enjoy judging others, and because of that, the events would be more complicated, even leading emergencies to happen. When information flow quickly transforms in every place of the world, immorality and illegal news always happen. In this process, more and more people enjoy being judging process.
After careful consideration, we decided to make an amazing game to let people really know about the dangers of internet world. We focus on the dark web, truly cybercrime and privacy burglary, tried to let gamers can experience being a hacker in the real world. Every little operation would affect the life of the characters in the game, which would let you rethink the relationship between people and the internet.
Features

·Web search
You should collect basic information about the targets through the Internet search.

The exciting thing is that you need to chat with targets by disguise and use the information to get the trust of the target.
·Picture Analysis

The game will judge the good and evil of the player's behavior. Different judgments will lead to different plot directions.
·Multiple Roles
There are many different roles in this game with a flash of personality. Their stories would be dug by yourself.
Written in the end
When we decided on the subject matter of the game, we thought about it for a long time. Because of This War of Mine, Papers, Please, Orwell and other excellent indie games, we also want to make a game that allows gamers to think outside the game. We tried so many times to brainstorm.
We set up a Social Engineering group to find some experts and ask them about the skills for giving gamers a real hacking experience. We even read the book The Art of Deception written by the famous hacker Kevin David Mitnick to figure out how a real hacker's works. These studies directly opened the door to a new world for all of us. The disciplines involved social engineering, psychology, micro-expressions, phrase skills and so on, which kinds of studies make us have great confidence in the theme of the game and gameplay.
Not just professionals and books, we also get inspiration from cinema. For example, through Who Am I: No System Is Safe, we have seen another explanation about hacking skills. Through Searching we have learned how to create storytelling in details and how to let the audiences and games focus on where we expect them to focus. Every times learning makes us closer to the game in my heart.
So as we mentioned before, this game is very special and unique which combines a lot of creativity. I really hope that you guys could like this game so much. Please feel free to leave your advice and feedback in Community.

Not really a puzzle more like a boring point and click story.
Amazing game, especially for those who like both off the Orwell games. My only complaint is that I wish there was more gameplay, it seemed like I was up to [spoiler]Chapter 5(final chapter)[/spoiler] in no time at all, definitely didn't feel like 10 hours.
TLDR: Game's pretty solid for the price point, but it does have some issues--translations, repetitiveness, UI changes. The English translations are pretty atrocious at times, but you can use context clues and figure it out pretty easily. I don't really think it's as big of a deal as some of the reviews I've read make it out to be. I don't know if I'm just not as thorough as other players, but I got stuck at 99% on a stage NUMEROUS times. The in-game hints kinda? help but some of them lead you absolutely nowhere. After the first chapter or two, the gameplay gets repetitive and the search for info becomes more and more tedious. I wish they would've slowly introduced some of the game mechanics into the second and third chapters instead of everything being in the first. The UI is pretty solid too. I honestly like it more than the UI in the sequel, but take that with a grain of salt because I may just be more used to the original haha. That being said, I wish the DLC had the same UI a...
The minigames aren't my favorite but I did like being a little hacker guy. Got to say "I'm in" each time.
It's basically a Chinese knockoff of Orwell. Which would be alright on its own, but the translations are awful and a lot of the conversational mini-games are "guess what I'm thinking to progress this conversation." I guess for 10 bucks it's ok, but I wouldn't recommend people play this over Orwell. Maybe the sequel is better.
